Some will happily sail that ship all the way to the bottom. Other than that you need more reiteration, proven IPs and as little innovation as possible.

Nope, AAA games suffer from ever-rising budgets and fixed price points.

Read Vile Bodies instead? Does it have flappers? @Slowtrain: Hah, the Sun Also Rises is next on my reading list after I finish the Void trilogy.

Aww, but how else will we learn that the American Dream is a big lie and that endless fun is ultimately empty and meaningless?

Digging up the oldest non-TV-related Song of Ice and Fire thread is not useful? Are you not entertained!?

Lord of the Rings? Seriously. Didn't hate it but forced my way through Fellowship then just gave up like 3 chapters into Two Towers. Just boring and badly written. The movies are better. Also hated the Great Gatsby. Had to read it for grade 12 english and after the chapter that just lists everyone he invited to a party I told my teacher I couldn't read that tripe and to just fail me on that section of the class. I read the Great Gatsby pretty recently. It's certainly not the most exciting of books, but I like the time period and it certainly gets its point across. I guess everything is better when you're not forced to do it

Indeed

You don't need to be to further my cause. NOOOOOOOooooooooo!

What Nepenthe said. Do get something for that cough, though.

I think the best theory so far is that the developers hit puberty

I was never on your side Maybe we need more official factions here, get some political debates going... Haters(+ trolls) vs moderates vs fanboys? KOTOR II vs NWN2 vs AP?

I'm here because (some of) the Black Isle Boards people are here, I couldn't care less what the sign on the upper left says. I get games that appeal to me, if they happen to be made by Obsidian, great, but there are lots of cool developers out there.

Yup, it's the Atreides' superweapon. Speaking of Emperor, it's one of the better Westwood games IMO, nice variety of units, three unique sides and a decent campaign. The community was still alive a few years back as well, might still be today.

The superweapon that had the eagle/falcon shadow was pretty awesome. Or was that one in Emperor: Battle for Dune...?

Well, no wonder people mock you then.

You brought it upon yourself

You're the one to talk, GDI scum.

Yup, the combat sucked and the platforming was pretty robotic, but the atmosphere(+ the minimalist story) makes the overall experience very enjoyable.

Did you get the watercolory 2008 Prince of Persia as well? I really liked it despite the general non-difference it got back in it's day. And it had a as well.

Play old games you once liked a lot. Works for me! This isn't books. Everything older than a year sucks. The past is dead to me. I guess I'm going to have to read A Dance with Dragon. You can always rampage through the indie game thread, lots of cool stuff there. But do read DWD first, otherwise you'll get spoiled sooner or later.

Good luck with Wise Man's Fear, you'll need it. I started the Culture off with Consider Phlebas and that put me off of Banks for a long time. Maybe I'll try The Use of Weapons eventually.

Trust no one. Should we set up code phrases, drop points and safehouses now or wait till the air clears?

Sorry to distract you with petty morality. Carry on.

Just change where the arrow is pointing and you're good.

*Obsidian Forum Community I think I'll just call you people OFCers, doesn't exactly roll off your tongue, but Obsidian Forum Community is a tad too long. OFCers ... ofcoursers ... yes men. Hmm
